| If it's baby teeth, sometimes they will fall out on their own and if not, the vet needs to extract them. If it's adult teeth, it could lead to other health issues if the pup has a rotten tooth and the vet would need to extract it. I hate to think of a yorkie having a toothache...that would be so painful!

| If its really loose you can try to pull it out yourself I'v done it to ALL my dogs and my past dogs. Get a small cloth put it over the tooth and twist a little to take it out this only works if they are loose.

| If it's that loose just try to hold or get someone to help you hold him and get that thing out.

| Also, if it's that loose my vet will just take it out for free so I'm sure other vets will do the same, but since she showed me how to do it I never take them to her anymore. Oh, and about the salt and water thing, I don't know about that

| Also, play LOTS of tug of war, this will help him pull it out by himself (with a little help from you ).
